Wondering how to keep up with all the changes and new features that social media platforms roll out every week? You’re not alone – we’ve been struggling to keep up, too.

That’s why we’ve decided to create a new weekly feature: The Social Media News Ticker. Every Monday, we will post a digest of the latest social media news from the previous week in a quick summary format. Odds are, you’ll have seen some of these stories–but we hope it will be useful to have all the latest news listed in one place to make sure you’re keeping up.
